🎨 Designing for Humans with Samantha Magnus
AI is shortening development time, but you can’t accelerate your value delivery unless you are building the right stuff. In other words, building the wrong data products faster is not necessarily going to help your career. But learning to design data experiences for humans will.

In this talk, Samantha will walk you through a new framework (Data HX) she’s been working on that combines design thinking, human-centrism, and data product development. You’ll learn about the dual starting line for development, how to brainstorm and iterate, principles of information architecture, and human-centered testing techniques.
